yet nother art exhibition opening

jonwah dragged me out to katoomba to attend an aerosol art exhibition opening. my old uni mate morgan had three of his works on display there. fuck it's cold up there btw! it was a 20min walk from the trainstation, it was fucken cold, windy AND raining. i whinged like a bitch the whole way there...

first of all i have to say that i'm not that big of a fan when it comes to graffiti art. i have a bit of a "been there, done that, dumbed the poor fucker" sorta feeling abt that shit. like, it was cool when i was a stoopid lil pre-teen skank hunting down the oh-so-wanna-be-cool-bad-boys who did the tags and graffiti pieces, but i just don't see anything fresh in it today. its still the same bloody thing. maybe i'm just getting old.

HOWEVER, i did enjoy this exhibition. there was 4 pieces that i really liked, tho only one of them was "traditional" graffiti art type of a thing. the three others had more links to either design or contemporary painting. anyhoo, they seemed fresh and interesting to me. specially the three sisters one.

funny thing, i ended up having a major argument with this boy who had his works in the exhibition. he asked what i thought abt the exhibition and of course i was honest. heh. not a good thing when you're talking with the artist himself after he's had few too many glasses of free wine. he misunderstood what i said, took it really personally and tried to have a go at me, when in fact it was his work that i liked. it was v. funny and entertaining.
